My colour choices for this line up was highly influenced by the backing fabric I found lingering in my stash since May of 2015. I purchased these two pieces from the Giraffe Crossing collection by R&B Design Team for Riley Blake Designs, with 2 yards of the Giraffe Main in cream and 1 yard of Tic Tac Red, from Canadian National Fabric.

The Tic Tac Red makes for the perfect binding!

The quilting was performed using my walking foot to create organic wavy lines with white thread both on top and in the bobbin.

It's my second stash addition for the year!!!A stack of Kona Cottons for the Giraffes: Violet, Magenta, Cyan, Teal, Lime, Avocado, Canary, Papaya, School Bus, Flame, Deep Rose and Lipstick.For the Background, my first ever yarn-dyed: Essex Yarn-Dyed in CharcoalFor the Backing: Widescreen Crosshatch in BlackFor the Binding: Kona CharcoalThanks to Pam at Mad About Patchwork!

If 4 Giraffes in a Row are cuter.... Then 6 must be the ultimate in cuteness!Now I want to make a rainbow of Giraffes in a Row!The Giraffes in a Row pattern comes in two sizes.You can make 4 giraffes that finish about 40" square or 6 giraffes that finish about 57" square.You can find the Giraffes in a Row pdf pattern here in my shop.

You will love the Essex linen. I am using it for the background of my Holly Jolly Christmas quilt. It's a little heavier than the kona cottons and you may find it easier to press seams away from the linen towards the kona cotton. It adds a lovely texture. Perfect background fabric for your colourful giraffe quilt!

I love this!!!!And Giraffe Love! And also Life's a Jungle and Giraffe Family! Excellent work and design. For the latter two, was this from the same pattern, or from another one, or did you design it yourself?
